Description
Welsh fishing boat , nav tech part deux and rogue SAR teams.
In the fifth episode your hosts Richard Prideaux and Ben G talk about a recent news story from closer to home, the disappearance of a fishing boat and crew off the coast of North Wales. The discussion moves on to coastal currents, movements of objects in the sea and specialist searchers.
Luke Stonestreet then joins in to discuss the differences, pros and cons of paper vs digital for navigational use and lose another potential show sponsor.
Finally, Richard and Ben tackle the latest topic "Are rogue SAR teams good or bad?" as usual, a conclusion isn't fully achieved but some interesting points raised about how to categorise these things?
